Well, basically I want to know which according to you will be the best site for me to start publishing my articles to make a residual income.
I have around 30 articles ready to be published. I want to publish them to a site which will keep on paying me ..... like I know many people who have been getting paid even if they are not working.
Please, consider that the site must have a good future... it should turn scam.
Do you guys think that this way is better or publishing your articles at a fixed rate?
How have you been publishing your articles?
Thank you to whoever responds.

There are two good sites that I can give you right now that will help you with your desire to get your articles published. They have worked great for me, I don't make much, but in my opinion, every little bit helps. The first is Associated Content, the second is called Factoidz. You are more than welcome to check them out. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Good Luck and Happy Writing.
I have written well over 400 articles and find it quite rewarding.

akshay, it depends on your view of a passive income. A few cents here and there. One of the sites I actually make probably about 10-15 dollars a month just from views. Everyone has a different view of what is considered passive. So, it is up to you to be the judge.

Associated Content is very good for passive income, with two limitations -- thirty articles aren't going to be enough to make any money for you, and they no longer pay people who live outside the United States. Of course, there really aren't any sites that will earn you much with just thirty articles. You have to keep writing so that people get to know your work and want to keep reading.

That's easy....don't listen to anyone else above. You have two choices. If you only have 30 articles then i'm definitely going to say wikinut. Otherwise Hubpages is another good option. With wikinut you get paid royalties for life whenever people look at your articles. It's not huge money but if you genuinely want to just publish your articles and then leave them. Wikinut is the way to go. It's a bit of a pain in the neck to register but it's not difficult it's a fairly standard registration form. As for hubpages you can make alot more money and there is more traffic and you will get paid forever as long as your hubs are online. It wouldn't be a bad idea posting on both. That's what i do...i'm still fairly active but it truly is a set and forget blog set up.

okay...the four choices that I have are triond, bukisa, hubpages and wikinut.
A person told that bukisa allows republishing of articles.... and he/she publishes them on both..triond and bukisa..... and you are saying that you publish all your articles both on hub and wikinut....well..that concludes I can publish my articles on all the four sites? well...this is driving me crazy....lol... plz help guys!!

Hello! I have published my articles on Triond, and have re-published some of the same articles on Bukisa. Bukisa allows re-publication as long as the articles are yours. And then of course, you have to post your links to bookmarking sites and social networking sites to be able to get a fair amount of good views and get them to earn. You can also post the same links to the same articles over at Xomba and Red Gage so you can earn more.

I think you should open up your own blog or some kind of website. You may find using article publishing sites a little of benefit in the beginning but in the long run your own site will be what you will be proud of. Although you will have to work harder in the beginning but believe me it will be worth every effort.

I like Bukisa, so I can recommend them. There is also Triond, but they have gotten all weird on me lately, so I can't really recommend them anymore. But Bukisa is definitely worth considering, check them out!

I write for Triond and Factoidz, i'd recommend Triond for passive income, they have this box at the end of every article that tells the reader "You might also be interested in the following articles", this is called Traffic Outbrain and i get alot of hit from it per month, if i stop publishing on Triond i probably make 9 Dollars a month and i only have like 70-80 Articles, 30 should at least make 50 Cents which is something, if you'd like to join Triond Check out my Profile!

I don't have any ideas how and where to posts articles in order to get paid. But try to search the web for your guidance and asks those who have knowledge in order not to be scammed. Most of the sites offering such things are not to be trusted. Instead, it will take away your ideas and post it on the other sites. They're changing the contents.
